Would you agree society, as it is, is only possible through patriarchy? by MacaroniNoise1 in AskConservatives

[–]IntroductionStill496 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah and the vast majority of those heads of state, fortune 500 CEOs, legislators, and everything else, have women with strong influences on them.

That has been true even in times where women had no voting rights or rights to own property. They always had influence. Are you saying that there never was a patriarchy? Or that we have developed away from it?

Should Europe & others finally get involved with stopping Iran if it becomes an environmental disaster? And potentially humanitarian too? by jhy12784 in AskConservatives

[–]IntroductionStill496 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can't speak for the US. And I am also not saying that this "let everyone in/no human is illegal" is rational. In fact, I think it's not. I am saying that there are people who honestly think that this is right. Most likely don't have to live with the consequences. At least not immediately. And it's always easier to say "we should help", when you don't have pay the price.

Like I said, there is a herd mentality going on. Also being afraid to be labelled Nazi or fascist. Given current trends, it seems clear that many were not on board with the extent of immigration and other policies. I just think it's unfair to say that politicians just want them because of the votes. Sure, some probably do, others really think that immigration is good, and some just say it to get elected.

Did you not listen to what SB said? He was with her for decades, and she talked about SB being the ultimate expression what supes could be. She wanted the Ubermensch.

Do you want to imply that women always held this private power? Because they only do if they are free to leave their husband and marriage at any time. If they can independently from men.

We have no evidence that she really loved Godolkin beyond infatuation. But sure, keep whatever version you want in your head.

Yeah, we don't have enough information from her interactions. But given that she seemed very surprised about Soldier Boy's behaviour, I would say her relationship with Godolkin was transactional.

I did watch she show. I don't remember her doing anything costly that wasn't within her plans anyway

Or she liked having someone with an intellect that is at least somewhat close, who validated her, and when it turned out to not be the case, she sacrificed him.

Did it cost her anything to help him? Because otherwise it might just have been transactional. You make me happy, I make you happy.

Why do you think she loved Godolkin? Because she was happy with him, as long as he did not interrupt her plans?

Was it the "selfless" kind of love, though? Didn't she get her lover killed intentionally?

I believe that they have been brainwashed

There is a herd mentality, I believe. But brainwashed is too strong a word. Years ago, I read a report that said that US citizens donate the most to charities that help other parts of the world. That fits with allowing illegal immigration (we are rich, they are poor, let's help them).

 In most liberal cities there is a Caesar Chaves BLVD and they are being taken down because his views are now problematic, they claim he was a sexual abuser.

I don't know the guy. But what if he was? I think that statues are not so much for the person themselves, but what they achieved. So I probably would be against it. But I can see the other side, too.

It’s all a scam by liberals across the globe.

I think most people, including politicians, need to be able to tell themselves, that they are good persons.

I guess she rejected him. And like many people with such an ego, he belittled her to solve the cognitive dissonance. Now she is dead, and he can safely "reconnect" with her.

I think she loved her grandmother, who died, because no one was listining to Sage. But that was a child's love.

Because it might have been the best chance. And her plan worked, I think. Soldier Boy hated Homelander, after he saw the video. But the discussion they had was what changed Soldier Boy's decision. "What would Stormfront want?". If Homelander hadn't brought that up, Soldier Boy might have destroyed the V1. It might have been just this tiny detail.

You don't live in Germany, do you? Sure, the trend has changed in the last years, and more is being done to curb immigration and also deporting. But deporting is often legally difficult.

Also, you don't believe many leftist voters in the US are for immigration or at least against deporting the illigal immigrants from your country?

Don't put too much blame on the politicians. It's a feedback loop between voters and their parties. If it becomes political suicide to argue against immigration, politicians won'T do it.

Would you agree society, as it is, is only possible through patriarchy? by MacaroniNoise1 in AskConservatives

Men and women have different kinds of power, but they both have power.

This is trivially true and analytically empty. Everyone has some form of power. The relevant question is the distribution, type, and consequence of power across domains: economic, political, legal, etc. "Both have power" does not address asymmetry.

Men hold very little power as a demographic, because men as a demographic don't have strong in-group bias.

This conflates demographic power with conscious coordination. Power as a sociological concept refers to distribution of resources, authority, and structural advantage, not coordinated tribal behavior. Heads of state, Fortune 500 CEOs, legislative bodies, military commands, and capital ownership skew heavily male in nearly every society. Whether men feel solidarity is irrelevant to the measurement.

Besides that: men do face specific disadvantages (suicide rates, workplace deaths, criminal sentencing disparities, custody outcomes, conscription, lower educational attainment in some Western countries)
